Vietnam sharing an ideology with China doesn’t mean it’s pro-China.
Vietnam sharing some security interests with the US doesn’t mean it’s pro-US.
Vietnam is pro-Vietnam.

Suspicious echoes of US nagging at ally Japan in the '90s - remember that tirade? Never us as the problem, always it's 'Them'... I think a lot of people have figured out what this is all about....How about you?

This baseless allegation by Yellen is absolutely preposterous!!! Is she referring to the US' Chip Act !!!???🤔

Reality.

This must be one of the stages of grief:

“We are on the right side of history...But it’s looking a bit lonely on the right side of history, as those who seem much less on the right side of history are increasingly banding together in a whole range of structures.”

We live in a crazy world where people hope to see you fail. They are mad at you because you are not suffering the way they expected you to, but smile in your face like they love your success all at the same time. May God keep on disappointing them. Keep Going‼️
